Great pod on the Russo Finnish War, guys. Thanks!
Lived as a military brat from 1963-68 at the above, and have always been fascinated by this part of history. Our elementary school was Rohm’s HQ in Stuttgart. There’s always two sides of a conflict but it never seems to justify the horror. Thx for the other side of the story!
The chemistry between the two is phenomenal but when listening to a podcast about material that is already so well covered it’s really the tangents into deep dark woods that make this show special
"WWII: Both Sides of the Wire" is a masterclass in objective, deep-dive historical analysis. I appreciate how Jesse and Matthias move beyond the standard narrative to examine the conflict from both Allied and Axis perspectives. Their ability to dismantle long-standing myths while providing granular detail on strategy and leadership is exceptional. It’s rare to find a podcast that balances academic rigor with such engaging delivery. This is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand t... more
Still catching up on all the great pods. The episodes on the Polish campaign and occupation were great and I learned a lot. BTW you are a great team and I love listening to Jesse, but the solo pods by Matthias are always an unexpected joy. It must be the uninterrupted and deeply nerdy monologues. They always make me smile!
